Personally, these wheels lose some of their best looks when black... I'd just refinish in silver if it were me.

Same here.

I was also on the fence about refinishing. I was afraid matching Hyper Silver wouldn't be perfect and I'd hate it... So i went with my second preference of Satin Black. Looks awesome. Here's a pic of my car for reference.

Never gets old. Stock ZCP suspension FTW.

Damn it looks so good without tint! I have an exact twin of your car but with tint and have been contemplating removing the tint so bad, love the clean look!

Looks awesome! Looking for my next e92 or e90!

Yessir, goes particularly nicely with red!

New addition to my stable. Decided to pick up brand new OEM ZCP wheels and center caps as the originals were a little beat up from the previous owner and I HATE curb rash.

Japanese_Racer · 07-25-2019, 05:51 PM

Bump for this thread.

wyatth · 07-25-2019, 06:55 PM

^ Great shot!!

Black looks nice on some builds, but it does hide some of the beauty of the wheels.
I like the gunmetal because it shows the details, while still offering some contrast to my AW, and hides brake dust (F* cleaning these wheels!). That said, silver is classic and I'll probably trade for silvers at some point just to mix things up.

Double Trouble (not sure why the upload quality looks like a potato, the original file is a sharp shot).

Thanks twin!

I highly recommend Mother's Aluminum Wheel Cleaner and an EZ Detail Wheel Brush for our alloys. Perfect combination that makes cleaning these wheels basically effortless even with a heavy coat of brake dust.

Finally can post an M3 in this thread. Upgraded from my E93 328i

Silverstone is underrated on E90s, clean looking car!

Thanks! I agree. I wanted Melbourne red for the longest time but saw this in person and fell in love.

Stunning at all angles. I've considered powder-coating mine satin black, but I really love how the hyper silver pops. Feel like some of the detail will get lost with a darker wheel.

Perfect. Of course I'm biased tho. Same spec.
